    "content": " Order, Senators! I do not think Sen. Kivuti should respond to Sen. Moi because, obviously, he is not being helpful to the discourse. Let me dispose of this matter as follows: One, the issues of court orders can be dealt better by the courts and not this House. So, Sen. Karaba, you must find a way of going back to the court and praying that the orders were not complied with. I am sure they will give you the right remedies. On the general issues of the National Land Commission (NLA), the Chairperson of the Committee on Lands and Natural Resources has already committed himself. In terms of the conflict of interest, we have ways in which to handle that matter. The Committee has a Vice Chairperson and other membership. The Committee can look at it and determine whether there may be need for the Vice Chairperson or a Member to lead this issue, given that the Chairperson might be an interested party. I know the Chairperson is an able man, knows these things and will do what is right for justice to be done. Mr. Chairman, we are interested in the fact that a matter has been raised in the House. So, we must respond as a responsible institution. It is in that response that all those issues will come out from a more neutral arbiter. There may be an altercation between two Senators representing the two different counties. I think that is where the role of the Committee becomes important. I direct that three Committees deal with this matter – Committee on Lands and Natural Resources, Committee on National Security and Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Implementation because the result of the petition had already been noted. So, it is a matter that fits very well in the Committee on Implementation. I now go even further and direct that the Committee should provide the leadership in this matter and bring us a report in two weeks’ time. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
